Barista Touch

I have been using a Breville Barista Touch for about a year and a half. I just found a good deal on a used Profitec Go so I decided to upgrade. Night and day difference for me. And folks say the grinder matters most, but I’m still using the built in grinder from the Touch until my new grinder ships

I went down this rabbit trail last month. After browsing this sub, I learned that it’s the grinder, not the espresso machine, that makes good espresso.

A general rule of thumb is that grind quality is more important than the espresso machine. I owned the Breville Barista Touch for about 6 months before I upgraded because of this fact. The machine was great EXCEPT for the grinder. All Breville machines use a CONICAL grinder, which is so-so. A much b

I had the Breville Barista Touch for three years up until a year ago and it was a great machine. The grinder is a bit inconsistent in dose which made it hard to get consistent shots. Primary issue for me was that the “grind by time” doesn’t yield the same amount from shot to shot and I had to weigh

My Experience with the Meraki Espresso Machine I received my Meraki about two weeks ago, just three weeks after buying a Breville Barista Touch Impress. Before that, I had been using a DeLonghi super-automatic for seven years. Moving to a semi-automatic machine seemed like a great way to elevate my
